I think we should probably increase that limit.  10MB isn't a lot, these
days.

But I wonder whether it's feasible to make that a dynamic limit?  Do we
have a way to ask the OS how much (physical-ish) RAM it has?  If it's a
64GiB machine, it might make sense to make the limit higher than if it's
a 16MiB machine.
